A FileSystemAccessRule object that represents an access control list (ACL) permission to add to a file or directory.
Exceptions
The rule parameter is null.
Remarks
The ResetAccessRule method adds the specified access control list (ACL) rule or overwrites any identical ACL rules that match the rule parameter. For example, if the rule parameter specifies a Read value and the ResetAccessRule method finds an identical ACL rule that specifies the Read value, the identical rule will be overwritten. If the ResetAccessRule method finds an identical ACL rule that specifies the Write value, the identical rule will also be overwritten.
Use the following .NET implementation-dependent methods to add or retrieve ACL information from a file:
| .NET implementation | Add rules | Retrieve rules |
|---|---|---|
| .NET | FileSystemAclExtensions.SetAccessControl(FileInfo, FileSecurity) | FileSystemAclExtensions.GetAccessControl(FileInfo) |
| .NET Framework | FileInfo.SetAccessControl(FileSecurity) | FileInfo.GetAccessControl() |
